Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
Agent Ethan Hunt and his team try to stop Gabriel from obtaining the artificial intelligence program “The Entity.”
The last film for Ethan Hunt… Is it worth your attention? For me, definitely yes — but with flaws.
🟢🟢🟢🟢
Tom Cruise is once again excellent in his role and remains the heart of the film.
The underwater scene is wow (if you overlook the outcome).
Technically, the film is flawless (as expected).
I heard quite a few mixed opinions about the first hour of the movie — it didn’t bother me, but it could have been presented more concisely.
It has a fair amount of melodrama, but I think it’s reasonable given that it’s Cruise’s last film in the role.
Plenty of suspense.
Directing is solid and at times very impressive, although I expected more.
Angela Bassett is as impressive as always.
It’s a movie you should watch in the cinema (whether or not you like the final result).

Gabriel: I wasn’t thrilled with him in the previous film, and here he’s neither particularly good nor threatening.
The finale didn’t feel like the climax I wanted for Hunt’s character.
The script has its issues and is what ultimately holds back the film from soaring; in many parts, it’s more verbose than necessary.
As I said earlier, the underwater scene is great, but what happens toward the end was too much!!!
It could have been shorter — 2 hours and 40 minutes is excessive.
The final scene with the two planes didn’t impress me much, although from a stunt perspective it was certainly challenging.
